Am I wrong?

[tscotty4him36]

Ok.. I have just bought a new home.. a nice log cabin and I just adore it because I've always wanted to live in one and God made it possible for me.. he's so awesome!!!

I am 36 yrs old and really feel like my life is just starting. I have been through so much but i feel this is my new beginning. I want a wife and pray about this often and maybe kids though its not a requirement.. but here's the thing. I hear so much negative things on the news and with Israel. I feel that our world is coming apart at the seams and our country has fallen far from where we used to be.

So my thought is... please Lord just come on and lets get this over with. Come get your people and let the curtain fall on this life and start over again with him in a new world, a new life. I know as Christians we should always be eager for his return but I feel like i am over eager.. even though he's blessed me with so much i am just tired beyond words with my life and ready to go home. Anyone else feel this way??

I don't ever feel this way..His timing is perfect in all things. Every moment is known by God! There is a reason for every second.

I feel that way from time to time. Mostly, I feel I can handle the challenges the future might bring. I was raised well, and have a healthy dose of faith in God, and the perserverance to get through just about anything. HOWEVER... I worry about my four children. I worry I haven't prepared them well enough to face the challenges. Maybe they will be weaker in the faith because of my imperfections. The world is bombarding them on a level I never had to face as a young man growing up.

When I start to think about my kids I start to wish the Lord would speed it up. I fear for them in this world. May God give me the strength and the wisdom to prepare them...

No, I don't think you are wrong. I feel that way also. God has greatly blessed me. We are not a friend to Israel any longer, and we as a nation are suffering for it. It makes me want Him to come. There are still individuals who need to be saved, however. I don't want to sit back and simply wait for Him to come -- though I DO want Him to come. Paul told those in Thessolonica who were just sitting around and waiting for the Rapture that they should be working as they waited.(2 Thessalonians 3:11-12) So, we are to work while we wait. However, we should be eagerly waiting for our final glorification and the return of Jesus: "For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope: for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we EAGERLY wait for it with perseverance." (Romans 8:22-25)

So, you are not wrong for feeling the way you do.

I want Him to come right now too, but we also have to live our lives as if it will be a long time coming. Look for a wife, work at having kids, carry on with your life. As long as you are ready for Him, you have nothing to loose.

I agree, I too look forward to the second coming of Christ but we can't stop living our lives in hope that he will come soon. Enjoy the time on this earth God has given you, Christ will come when he is ready.

It's a normal feeling.

But we need to occupy ourselves until He comes.

I love life too much! What will be will be, in His timing.

Until then?

The last words I want spoken at my funeral?

Fez, if I was there and saw that, I'd have to assume you were a zombie and set you on fire.
